Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of conveying devices, in particular to a conveying device for solid-state battery recycling and a conveying method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solid-state battery is a battery technology, including full semi-solid battery and semi-solid battery, wherein the semi-solid battery is a transitional technology between liquid lithium battery and full semi-solid battery, which balances performance, cost and mass production feasibility by introducing solid-state electrolyte and retaining part of the liquid electrolyte in the lithium ion battery.

[0003] In the existing recycling technology of cylindrical semi-solid batteries, the conveying of materials is mostly completed with the help of a conveying belt. In this continuous conveying process, some damaged semi-solid batteries may leak liquid inside. Once these leaked liquids flow randomly on the conveying belt or adhere to the surface of adjacent intact semi-solid batteries, not only will it pollute the working surface of the conveying belt, increasing the complexity of subsequent cleaning and maintenance, but also may potentially damage the performance of undamaged batteries, and even interfere with the stable operation and safe operation of the entire recycling process. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem of liquid leakage polluting the conveying belt and adjacent semi-solid batteries in the existing semi-solid battery conveying process, and to provide a conveying device for solid-state battery recycling and a conveying method thereof.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows: a conveying device for solid-state battery recycling, comprising a conveying rack, a conveying chain is arranged on the conveying rack, and further comprising: a placing bin, the placing bin is fixed between two conveying chains, the placing bin has an arc surface inside, the placing bin has a liquid storage space inside, and a liquid discharge groove is formed in the arc surface and communicates with the liquid storage space; a clamping plate, the clamping plate is symmetrically arranged in the placing bin, a plurality of first electric push rods are fixed on the surface of the placing bin, and the movable end of the first electric push rod is fixed with the corresponding clamping plate; a rotating plate, the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the clamping plate, one of the clamping plates is fixed with a driving motor, and the driving motor is coaxially connected with the rotating plate; an adjusting assembly, the adjusting assembly is arranged in the placing bin, and the adjusting assembly is used for adjusting the position of the semi-solid battery so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating plate; a liquid leakage monitoring assembly, the liquid leakage monitoring assembly is arranged in the placing bin, and the liquid leakage monitoring assembly is used for monitoring the liquid leakage state of the semi-solid battery; Firstly, the cylindrical semi-solid battery is placed in the placing bin, and the placing bin is moved by starting the conveying chain to complete the conveying function, wherein the transmission mode of the conveying chain is the prior art, which will not be described here. Before clamping the semi-solid battery, the position of the semi-solid battery is adjusted by the adjusting assembly, so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating shaft, after the adjustment is completed, the first electric push rod is started to push the two clamping plates to move close to each other, the rotating plates move synchronously with the clamping plates, the two ends of the semi-solid battery are clamped by the two rotating plates, the positioning of the semi-solid battery is realized, each semi-solid battery is placed in an independent cabin, so that each semi-solid battery is separated from each other, thereby reducing the problem of liquid leakage and adhesion between adjacent batteries. Then, the leakage state of the semi-solid battery can be monitored in real time by the leakage monitoring assembly, and the leakage state at least includes leakage and no leakage, when the semi-solid battery is detected to leak, the leakage in the placing bin enters the liquid storage space after the liquid drainage groove, and the leakage is collected; When it is detected that the semi-solid battery does not leak, it may be because the leakage position of the semi-solid battery is not at the lowest point, the driving motor is started to drive the rotating plate to rotate slowly for one circle, so that the semi-solid battery is driven to rotate slowly for one circle by the rotating plate, in the rotating process, when the leakage position of the semi-solid battery is gradually rotated to the lowest point, leakage will be generated, so that the leakage monitoring assembly can detect the leakage state, so as to control the driving motor to stop rotating and maintain the semi-solid battery in the leakage state; By continuously leaking the semi-solid battery, the leakage in the semi-solid battery is completely discharged during the conveying process, thereby reducing the adverse effects of battery leakage on other processes in the subsequent processing process.

[0006] Further, in the process of driving the semi-solid battery to rotate slowly, the increase speed of the leakage amount of the semi-solid battery is monitored in real time, if the increase speed of the leakage amount is maximum at a certain position, the rotation is stopped at this time, so as to ensure the drainage efficiency, for short distance conveying scene, the liquid in the battery can be emptied faster, thereby further reducing the adverse effects on other processes.

[0007] Preferably, the adjusting assembly comprises two adjusting plates, the two adjusting plates are symmetrically arranged in the placing bin, the second electric push rod is fixed between the adjusting plate and the inner wall of the placing bin, the moving seat is slidably connected to the two ends of the adjusting plate, the supporting roller is rotatably connected to the moving seat, the third electric push rod is fixed to the adjusting plate, and the connecting assembly is arranged between the movable end of the third electric push rod and the corresponding moving seat.

[0008] Specifically, since the cylindrical semi-solid battery has different size types, the application sets a supporting roller in the placing bin, and the height of the supporting roller is preset in advance to adapt to semi-solid batteries of different sizes, for example, when the supporting roller moves to a first height, it is suitable for a semi-solid battery of a first size, and when the supporting roller moves to a second height, it is suitable for a semi-solid battery of a second size. In use, the height of the supporting roller is adjusted to adapt to the corresponding solid battery, so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating plate, thereby ensuring the stability of semi-solid batteries of different sizes during rotation, and avoiding the shaking and deviation of semi-solid batteries during rotation due to different coaxial centers, which may cause wear of the battery shell, damage to the internal structure, and problems such as blocked recycling process and reduced efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the moving seat comprises two bottom plates, the two bottom plates are fixed to each other, two supporting rods are fixed on each bottom plate, an installation shaft is fixed between the two supporting rods, a through groove is obliquely formed on the installation shaft, a trigger assembly is arranged in the through groove, the trigger assembly comprises a sliding plate, the sliding plate is slidingly connected in the through groove, two supports are fixed at both ends of the sliding plate, a rotating roller is rotatably connected to each support, a pressure sensor is fixed on the support at the bottom end of the sliding plate, a first spring is fixed between the pressure sensor and the installation shaft, and a limiting plate is fixed on the support at the top end of the sliding plate.

[0010] Specifically, the surface of part of the semi-solid battery may have some damaged positions, a shell that is raised, and the like, so that the surface of the battery is uneven. In view of this, the application adjusts the position of the supporting roller to enable the supporting roller to contact the flat part of the battery surface, thereby further ensuring the coaxiality of the semi-solid battery and the rotating structure. The specific working mode is as follows: under normal conditions, the support at the bottom end is close to the installation shaft under the continuous pulling force of the first spring, and the support at the top end is away from the installation shaft, which makes the supporting roller eccentric with the installation shaft.

[0011] When the semi-solid battery is placed between the supporting rollers, the battery will press the supporting rollers downward under the action of its own gravity, and the supporting rollers will drive the upper and lower supports and the sliding plate to move synchronously. During the movement, the first spring will be gradually stretched, and the tension applied to the pressure sensor will also decrease until the limiting plate contacts the mounting shaft. By arranging multiple supporting rollers on the adjusting plate, when the surface of the semi-solid battery is flat, the downward pressure received by each supporting roller will remain consistent, the pressure detected by each pressure sensor will be consistent with the preset pressure value, and each limiting plate can contact the mounting shaft, so that each supporting roller can be coaxial with the mounting shaft, thereby ensuring the coaxiality of the semi-solid battery and the rotating plate.

[0012] When the surface of the semi-solid battery has protrusions or recesses, after the semi-solid battery is placed on the supporting rollers, if part of the supporting rollers contact the flat parts of the semi-solid battery surface and part of the supporting rollers contact the uneven parts, the semi-solid battery will be in an inclined state. At this time, adjacent pressure sensors will detect different pressure values, and through the difference, it can be determined that the semi-solid battery is in an inclined state. Then, the third electric push rod is started to move the moving seat, thereby adjusting the position of the supporting rollers until the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is consistent with the preset pressure value, thereby determining that the supporting rollers have moved to the flat parts of the semi-solid battery surface. By supporting the flat parts of the semi-solid battery, the semi-solid battery can be coaxial with the mounting shaft, reducing the influence of the surface of the semi-solid battery having some damaged parts and the shell being raised, which is conducive to further improving the coaxiality of the semi-solid battery and the rotating plate.

[0013] It should be noted that by arranging the upper and lower supports, the sliding plate, and the mounting shaft in sliding cooperation, a stable limiting and guiding mechanism can be formed. During the rotation of the supporting rollers, this structure can effectively constrain the triggering position of the supporting rollers, so that they will not shift or shake with the rotation of the supporting rollers. Regardless of the rotation of the supporting rollers, the cooperative action of the upper and lower supports and the sliding plate can ensure that the triggering position is always accurately aligned with the center of the rotating plate, maintaining the stability of the triggering position and providing a reliable reference for subsequent detection and adjustment actions.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly comprises a through hole, which is provided on the top surface of the adjusting plate, a connecting rod is inserted into the through hole, the bottom of the connecting rod is fixed with the movable end of the third electric push rod, a second spring is fixed between the adjusting plate and the third electric push rod, a top plate is fixed at the top end of the connecting rod, the top plate is made of ferromagnetic material, a first electromagnet is fixed on the top of the adjusting plate, and the first electromagnet is arranged below the top plate. Specifically, in the process of detecting the semi-solid battery, the first electromagnet is controlled to be in an energized state at this time, so that the top plate is adsorbed by the first electromagnet, so that the movable end of the adjusting plate, the connecting rod and the third electric push rod are fixed, thereby maintaining the stability of the supporting roller detection. When the detection is completed, the semi-solid battery is clamped by the clamping plate, and due to the possible unevenness of the surface of the semi-solid battery, the first electromagnet is controlled to be de-energized at this time, so that the first electromagnet cancels the adsorption state of the top plate, so that the elastic connection between the adjusting plate and the movable end of the third electric push rod is cancelled. In the process of contacting the supporting roller between the protruding position of the surface of the semi-solid battery, the supporting roller can press down the adjusting plate to give way, thereby avoiding interference in the subsequent rotation of the semi-solid battery.

[0015] Preferably, a first internal gear is fixed on the inner annular surface of the supporting roller, a second gear is fixed on the outside of the rotating roller, the second gear and the first internal gear are in meshing relationship with each other, the rotating roller is made of ferromagnetic material, and a second electromagnet is fixed on the supporting rod.

[0016] Specifically, in the detection process, the second electromagnet is controlled to be in an energized state, so that the rotating roller is adsorbed by the second electromagnet, the rotating roller and the second gear are positioned, and the first internal gear and the supporting roller are positioned by the second gear, thereby avoiding the synchronous rotation of the battery driven by the rolling of the supporting roller during the detection process, causing the contact point between the battery and the supporting roller to change constantly with the rotation, and the originally contacted flat part may be switched to a protruding or concave part at any moment, and the pressure value received by the pressure sensor will continue to fluctuate, making it difficult to stably capture the real force condition of a certain position; In the subsequent process of driving the semi-solid battery to rotate, the second electromagnet is controlled to be de-energized, thereby canceling the positioning of the supporting roller, so that the supporting roller and the semi-solid battery are in rolling contact during the rotation of the semi-solid battery, thereby reducing the wear of the semi-solid battery caused by the supporting roller.

[0017] Preferably, a connecting ring is fixed on the back of the rotating plate, a rotating shaft is inserted in the connecting ring, a plurality of third springs are fixed between the outer wall of the rotating shaft and the inner wall of the connecting ring, the rotating shaft is fixed with the output shaft of the driving motor, and a vibration motor is fixed on the surface of the rotating plate.

[0018] Specifically, the driving motor is started, the driving motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the connecting ring and the rotating plate to rotate synchronously through the third springs. The third springs are hard springs, thereby reducing the influence of the gravity of the battery and the rotating plate. After the vibration motor is started, the rotating plate can be vibrated, thereby driving the battery between the two rotating plates to vibrate. Under the action of vibration, the discharge of the liquid in the battery can be further promoted.

[0019] Preferably, two sides of the connecting ring are symmetrically fixed with limiting strips, and the two limiting strips are in a vertical state and are fixed on the surface of the clamping plate.

[0020] Specifically, the two limiting strips limit the lateral vibration of the rotating plate, so that the rotating plate mainly vibrates vertically, thereby the vertical force and gravity can be used to accelerate the leakage liquid to be discharged; It should be noted that the coaxial center of the battery and the rotating plate can avoid the interference of the additional centrifugal force caused by eccentricity, and ensure the stability of the vibration direction; Meanwhile, in combination with the vertical elastic support force of the battery received by the supporting roller, when the battery is vertically vibrated, the direction of the external force received by the battery is consistent with the direction of the vertical elastic support force, so that the clamping loosening or uneven force of the supporting roller caused by the lateral force can be avoided.

[0021] Preferably, the leakage liquid monitoring assembly comprises a liquid level sensor, the liquid level sensor is fixed on the inner wall of the liquid storage space, the inside of the liquid discharge groove is fixed with a liquid discharge plate, and the surface of the liquid discharge plate is fixed with a plurality of adjusting valves.

[0022] Specifically, during the conveying of the battery, if leakage occurs, the liquid level in the liquid storage space gradually rises, and the liquid level can be monitored in real time through the liquid level sensor, so that whether the battery leaks can be determined through the liquid level, and during the conveying, the adjusting valves are in an open state, when the conveying is completed, the placement bin moves to the lower position with the conveying chain, at this time, the placement bin is in an inverted state, by closing the adjusting valve, the situation that the liquid in the placement bin flows out can be avoided.

[0023] Preferably, the side wall of the placement bin is fixed with a liquid discharge pipe, and the liquid discharge pipe communicates with the inside of the liquid storage space.

[0024] Specifically, by setting the liquid discharge pipe, the liquid discharge pipe can be connected with an external suction device, so as to discharge the liquid in the liquid storage space.

[0025] A conveying method for solid-state battery recycling, the conveying method comprises the following steps: Step one, after placing the cylindrical semi-solid battery in the placement bin, adjust the position of the semi-solid battery through the adjusting assembly, so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating shaft; Step two, after the adjustment is completed, the two clamping plates are controlled to move close to each other to clamp and position the semi-solid battery, and then the placement bin is driven to move by the conveying chain to convey the semi-solid battery; Step three, in the conveying process, the leakage monitoring assembly can monitor the leakage state of the semi-solid battery in real time, when it is detected that the semi-solid battery does not leak, the semi-solid battery is controlled to rotate slowly for one circle, and the leakage state of the semi-solid battery is monitored in real time, when it is detected that the semi-solid battery leaks, the semi-solid battery is controlled to stop rotating.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: The present application realizes the positioning of the semi-solid battery by clamping the two ends of the semi-solid battery with two rotating plates, each semi-solid battery is placed in an independent cabin, so that each semi-solid battery is separated from each other, thereby reducing the problem of leakage and adhesion between adjacent batteries; and by driving the rotating plate to rotate slowly, the semi-solid battery continuously leaks, and in the conveying process, the leakage in the semi-solid battery is completely discharged, thereby reducing the adverse effects of battery leakage on other processes in the subsequent processing process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following description is used to disclose the present application so that those skilled in the art can implement the present application. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only as examples, and other obvious modifications can be thought of by those skilled in the art.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 7 shown in a solid-state battery recycling conveying device, comprising a conveying frame 1, the conveying frame 1 is provided with a conveying chain 2, further comprising: a placing bin 3, the placing bin 3 is fixed between two conveying chains 2, the placing bin 3 has an arc surface 4 in it, the placing bin 3 has a liquid storage space 5 in it, and the arc surface 4 is provided with a liquid discharge groove 6 communicating with the liquid storage space 5; a clamping plate 7, the clamping plate 7 is symmetrically arranged in the placing bin 3, and the surface of the placing bin 3 is fixed with a plurality of first electric push rods 8, the movable end of the first electric push rod 8 is fixed with the corresponding clamping plate 7; a rotating plate 9, the rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 7, and one of the clamping plates 7 is fixed with a driving motor 10, and the driving motor 10 is coaxially connected with the rotating plate 9; an adjusting assembly, the adjusting assembly is arranged in the placing bin 3, and the adjusting assembly is used for adjusting the position of the semi-solid battery, so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating plate 9; a liquid leakage monitoring assembly, the liquid leakage monitoring assembly is arranged in the placing bin 3, and the liquid leakage monitoring assembly is used for monitoring the liquid leakage state of the semi-solid battery; Specifically, in existing recycling technologies for cylindrical semi-solid-state batteries, material transport is mostly accomplished using conveyor belts. During this continuous transport process, some damaged semi-solid-state batteries may leak their internal liquid contents. If this leaked liquid flows freely onto the conveyor belt or adheres to the surface of adjacent intact semi-solid-state batteries, it will not only contaminate the working surface of the conveyor belt and increase the complexity of subsequent cleaning and maintenance, but may also potentially damage the performance of undamaged batteries and even interfere with the stable operation and safety of the entire recycling process. The present invention can solve the above problems. The specific working method is as follows: First, a cylindrical semi-solid battery is placed in the placement chamber 3. The placement chamber 3 is moved by starting the conveyor chain 2 to complete the conveying function. The transmission method of the conveyor chain 2 is the prior art, and will not be described in detail here. Before clamping the semi-solid battery, the position of the semi-solid battery is adjusted by adjusting the component to make the semi-solid battery coaxial with the rotating shaft 34. After the adjustment is completed, the first electric push rod 8 is activated to push the two clamping plates 7 closer to each other. The rotating plate 9 moves synchronously with the clamping plates 7. The two rotating plates 9 clamp the two ends of the semi-solid battery to achieve the positioning of the semi-solid battery. Each semi-solid battery is placed in an independent compartment, so that the semi-solid batteries are separated from each other, thereby reducing the problem of leakage and adhesion between adjacent batteries. Then, the leakage monitoring component can monitor the leakage status of the semi-solid battery in real time. The leakage status includes at least leakage and no leakage. When leakage of the semi-solid battery is detected, the present invention sets up a drain trough 6. After the leakage in the storage compartment 3 is drained into the drain trough 6, it enters the storage space 5 for centralized collection. When no leakage is detected in the semi-solid battery, it may be because the leakage point of the semi-solid battery is not at the lowest point. The present invention starts the drive motor 10, which drives the rotating plate 9 to rotate slowly one revolution. In turn, the rotating plate 9 drives the semi-solid battery to rotate slowly one revolution. During the rotation, when the leakage point of the semi-solid battery gradually rotates to the lowest point, leakage will occur. This allows the leakage detection component to detect the leakage state and control the drive motor 10 to stop rotating, thus maintaining the semi-solid battery in the leakage state. By allowing the semi-solid battery to continuously leak liquid, the liquid in the semi-solid battery is completely drained during transportation, thereby reducing the adverse effects of battery leakage on other processes during subsequent processing.

[0038] Furthermore, during the slow rotation of the semi-solid battery, the rate of increase in leakage is monitored in real time. If the rate of increase in leakage is the highest at a certain position, the rotation is stopped to ensure drainage efficiency. For short-distance transportation scenarios, the liquid inside the battery can be drained more quickly, thereby further reducing the adverse effects on other processes.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment assembly includes two adjustment plates 11, which are symmetrically arranged in the placement chamber 3. A second electric push rod 12 is fixed between the adjustment plate 11 and the inner wall of the placement chamber 3. Both ends of the adjustment plate 11 are slidably connected to a movable seat 13. A support roller 14 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 13. Two third electric push rods 15 are fixed on the adjustment plate 11. A connecting assembly is provided between the movable end of the third electric push rod 15 and the corresponding movable seat 13.

[0040] Specifically, since cylindrical semi-solid batteries have different size types, the present invention provides a support roller 14 in the placement chamber 3. By pre-setting the height of the support roller 14, it can be adapted to semi-solid batteries of different sizes. For example, when the support roller 14 moves to the first height, it corresponds to a semi-solid battery of the first size. When the support roller moves to the second height, it corresponds to a semi-solid battery of the second size. In use, the height of the support roller 14 is adjusted to match the corresponding solid battery, so that the semi-solid battery and the rotating plate 9 are coaxial. This ensures the stability of semi-solid batteries of different sizes during rotation, thereby avoiding the semi-solid battery from shaking or shifting during rotation due to their different axes. This can also lead to wear on the battery casing, damage to the internal structure, and problems such as obstruction of the recycling process and reduced efficiency.

[0041] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the movable seat 13 includes two chassis 16, which are fixed to each other. Each chassis 16 has two support rods 17 fixed on it. An installation shaft 18 is fixed between the two support rods 17. A through groove 19 is obliquely opened on the installation shaft 18. A triggering component is provided in the through groove 19. The triggering component includes a slide plate 20, which is slidably connected in the through groove 19. A bracket 21 is fixed at both ends of the slide plate 20. A rotating roller 22 is rotatably connected to the bracket 21. A pressure sensor 23 is fixed on the bracket 21 at the bottom end of the slide plate 20. A first spring 24 is fixed between the pressure sensor 23 and the installation shaft 18. A limit plate 25 is fixed on the bracket 21 at the top end of the slide plate 20.

[0042] Specifically, some semi-solid-state batteries may have surface defects such as damage or warping of the casing, resulting in an uneven surface. To address this, the present invention identifies the uneven areas on the battery surface and adjusts the position of the support roller 14 to ensure it contacts the flat areas of the battery surface, thereby further guaranteeing the coaxiality of the semi-solid-state battery and the rotating structure. The specific operation is as follows: Under normal conditions, under the continuous tension of the first spring 24, the bottom bracket 21 is positioned close to the mounting shaft 18, while the top bracket 21 is positioned away from the mounting shaft 18, causing the support roller 14 to be eccentrically positioned relative to the mounting shaft 18.

[0043] When the semi-solid battery is placed between the support rollers 14, its own weight causes it to press down on the support rollers 14, which in turn causes the upper and lower supports 21 and the sliding plate 20 to move synchronously. During this movement, the first spring 24 is gradually stretched, and the tension it exerts on the pressure sensor 23 decreases until the limiting plate 25 contacts the mounting shaft 18. By setting multiple support rollers 14 on the adjusting plate 11, when the surface of the semi-solid battery is flat, the downward pressure on each support roller 14 will be consistent, the pressure detected by each pressure sensor 23 will match the preset pressure value, and each limiting plate 25 can contact the mounting shaft 18, thus ensuring that each support roller 14 is coaxial with the mounting shaft 18, thereby guaranteeing the coaxiality of the semi-solid battery and the rotating plate 9.

[0044] When there are protrusions or depressions on the surface of the semi-solid battery, after placing the semi-solid battery on the support roller 14, if part of the support roller 14 contacts the flat part of the semi-solid battery surface while the other part contacts the uneven part, the semi-solid battery will tilt. At this time, the adjacent pressure sensor 23 will detect different pressure values, and this difference can be used to determine that the semi-solid battery is tilted. Then, by activating the third electric actuator 15, the moving seat 13 is moved, thereby adjusting the position of the support roller 14 until the pressure values ​​detected by the pressure sensor 23 are all consistent with the preset pressure values, thus confirming that the support roller 14 has moved to the flat part of the semi-solid battery surface. By supporting the flat part of the semi-solid battery, it can be ensured that the semi-solid battery and the mounting shaft 18 are in a coaxial position, reducing the impact of partial damage or shell warping on the surface of the semi-solid battery, and further improving the coaxiality of the semi-solid battery and the rotating plate 9.

[0045] It should be noted that by setting up the upper and lower brackets 21, the sliding plate 20 and the mounting shaft 18 in a sliding fit structure, a stable limiting and guiding mechanism can be formed. During the rotation of the support roller 14, this structure can effectively constrain the trigger position of the support roller 14, so that it will not shift or shake with the rotation of the support roller 14. No matter how the support roller 14 rotates, the synergistic effect of the upper and lower brackets 21 and the sliding plate 20 can ensure that the trigger position is always accurately aligned with the center of the rotating plate 9, maintaining the stable state of the trigger position, and providing a reliable reference for subsequent detection and adjustment actions.

[0046] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the connecting component includes a through hole 26, which is opened through the top surface of the adjusting plate 11. A connecting rod 27 is inserted into the through hole 26. The bottom of the connecting rod 27 is fixed to the movable end of the third electric push rod 15. A second spring 28 is fixed between the adjusting plate 11 and the third electric push rod 15. A top plate 42 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 27. The top plate 42 is made of ferromagnetic material. A first electromagnet 29 is fixed to the top of the adjusting plate 11. The first electromagnet 29 is located below the top plate 42. Specifically, during the testing of the semi-solid battery, the first electromagnet 29 is energized, attracting the top plate 42 and fixing the movable ends of the adjusting plate 11, connecting rod 27, and third electric push rod 15, thus maintaining the stability of the support roller 14 during testing. After the test is completed and the semi-solid battery is clamped by the clamping plate 7, since the surface of the semi-solid battery may be uneven, the first electromagnet 29 is de-energized. At this time, the first electromagnet 29 is released from its attraction to the top plate 42, making the movable end of the adjusting plate 11 and the third electric push rod 15 elastically connected. Thus, when the protruding position on the surface of the semi-solid battery contacts the support roller 14, the support roller 14 can press down on the adjusting plate 11 to make room, thereby avoiding interference with the semi-solid battery during subsequent rotation.

[0047] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a first internal gear 30 is fixed on the inner ring surface of the support roller 14, a second gear 31 is sleeved and fixed on the outer side of the rotating roller 22, the second gear 31 meshes with the first internal gear 30, the rotating roller 22 is made of ferromagnetic material, and a second electromagnet 32 ​​is fixed on the support rod 17.

[0048] Specifically, during the testing process, by controlling the second electromagnet 32 ​​to be energized, the second electromagnet 32 ​​attracts the rotating roller 22, thereby positioning the rotating roller 22 and the second gear 31. The second gear 31 also positions the first internal gear 30 and the support roller 14. This avoids the situation where the support roller 14 rotates and drives the battery to rotate synchronously during the testing process, causing the contact point between the battery and the support roller 14 to change continuously with the rotation. The flat part that was originally in contact with the support roller 14 may instantly switch to a convex or concave part, and the pressure value received by the pressure sensor 23 will fluctuate continuously, making it difficult to stably capture the true force situation at a specific location. During the subsequent rotation of the semi-solid battery, the second electromagnet 32 ​​is de-energized to cancel the positioning of the support roller 14, so that the support roller 14 and the semi-solid battery roll in contact during the rotation, thereby reducing the wear caused by the support roller 14 on the semi-solid battery.

[0049] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a connecting ring 33 is fixed to the back of the rotating plate 9, a rotating shaft 34 is inserted into the connecting ring 33, a plurality of third springs 35 are fixed between the outer wall of the rotating shaft 34 and the inner wall of the connecting ring 33, the rotating shaft 34 is fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 10, and a vibration motor 36 is fixed to the surface of the rotating plate 9.

[0050] Specifically, by starting the drive motor 10, the drive motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. The rotating shaft 34 drives the connecting ring 33 and the rotating plate 9 to rotate synchronously through the third spring 35. The third spring 35 is a hard spring, which reduces the influence of gravity on the battery, rotating plate 9, etc. After starting the vibration motor 36, it can drive the rotating plate 9 to vibrate, thereby driving the battery between the two rotating plates 9 to vibrate. Under the action of vibration, it can further promote the discharge of liquid in the battery.

[0051] As a further embodiment of the present invention, limiting strips 37 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the connecting ring 33, the two limiting strips 37 are in a vertical state, and the limiting strips 37 are fixed on the surface of the clamping plate 7.

[0052] Specifically, by setting two limit bars 37 to restrict the lateral vibration of the rotating plate 9, the rotating plate 9 is made to vibrate mainly in the vertical direction, thereby utilizing the synergy of vertical force and gravity to accelerate the discharge of leaked liquid. It should be noted that by combining the above embodiments with the method of making the battery and the rotating plate 9 coaxial, the extra centrifugal force interference caused by eccentricity can be avoided, thus ensuring the stability of the vibration direction. At the same time, combined with the vertical elastic support force of the support roller 14, when the battery vibrates vertically, the direction of the external force on the battery is consistent with the direction of the vertical elastic support force, which can avoid the loosening of the clamping or uneven force on the support roller 14 caused by lateral force.

[0053] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the leakage monitoring component includes a liquid level sensor 38, which is fixed on the inner wall of the liquid storage space 5. A drain plate 39 is fixed inside the drain tank 6, and a plurality of regulating valves 40 are fixed on the surface of the drain plate 39.

[0054] Specifically, during the battery transport process, if leakage occurs, the liquid level in the storage space 5 gradually rises. The liquid level sensor 38 can monitor the liquid level in real time, thereby determining whether the battery is leaking. During the transport process, all regulating valves 40 are kept open. After the transport is completed, the placement chamber 3 moves to the lower position with the conveyor chain 2. At this time, the placement chamber 3 is in an inverted state. By closing the regulating valves 40, the backflow of liquid in the placement chamber 3 can be prevented.

[0055] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a drain pipe 41 is fixed on the side wall of the placement chamber 3, and the drain pipe 41 is connected to the interior of the liquid storage space 5.

[0056] Specifically, by setting up a drain pipe 41, the liquid inside the storage space 5 can be drained through the drain pipe 41 connected to an external suction device.

[0057] like Figure 8 The method for conveying solid-state batteries for recycling includes the following steps: Step 1: After placing the cylindrical semi-solid battery in the placement chamber 3, adjust the position of the semi-solid battery by adjusting the component so that the semi-solid battery is coaxial with the rotating shaft 34. Step 2: After adjustment, control the two clamping plates 7 to move closer to each other to clamp and position the semi-solid battery. Then, drive the placement chamber 3 to move through the conveyor chain 2 to transport the semi-solid battery. Step 3: During the transportation process, the leakage monitoring component can monitor the leakage status of the semi-solid battery in real time. When no leakage is detected, the semi-solid battery is controlled to rotate slowly one revolution, and the leakage status of the semi-solid battery is monitored in real time. When leakage is detected, the semi-solid battery is controlled to stop rotating.

[0058] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
